Sympatico is a collaboration between two musician friends Clint Allen (Trumpet & Piano) and Dave Kemp (Percussion). Together they explore new innovative contemporary art music and often have musical comrades join them during performances and recordings.

Individually they have received such accolades as a Churchill Fellow Award, an Arts Qld Professional Development Award and as Sympatico, performance funding from the New Music Network.

They have commissioned works from Australian composers such as Thomas Green, Andrew Garton and Glen Brearly. They also specialise in presenting works by Jacob Ter Velduis, Dafnis Prieto and Frank Zappa.

 

Their current project is to present the Lyric Suite by Chick Corea in concert soon.
